AMERICA. 

My  country  'tis  of  thes, 
Sweet  land  of  liberty, 

Of  tliee  I  sing: 
Land  where  my  fathers  died, 
Land  of  the  pilgrims'  pride; 
From  every  mountain  side, 

Let  freedom   ring. 

My  native  country  thee. 
Land  of  the  noble  free — 

Thy   name  I    love; 
I  love  thy  rocks  and  rills, 
Thy  woods  and  templed  hi'ls; 
My  heart  with  rapture  thrills 

Like  that  above. 

Let  music  swell  the  breeze. 
And  ring  from  all  the  trees 

Sweet  freedom's  song; 
Let  mortal   tongues   awake. 
Let  all  that  breathe  partake. 
Let  rocks  their  silence  break — 

The  sound  prolong. 

Our  fathers'  God!  to.  Thee, 
Author  of  liberty, 

To  Thee  we  sing; 
Long  may  our  land  be  bright 
With  freedom's  holy  light;     • 
Protect  us  by  thy  might, 

Great  God,  our  King!

MY  OLD  KENTUCKY  HOME,  GOOD-NIGHT. 


The  sun  shines  bright  in  the  old  Kentucky  home, 

'Tis  summer,  the  darkies  are  gay; 

The  corn-top's  ripe  and  the  meadow's  in  the  bloom. 

While  the  birds  make  music  all  the  day; 

The  young  folks  roll  on  the  little  cabin  floor, 

All  merry,  all  happy  and  bright, 

By'n-by  hard  times  comes  a  knocking  at  the  door. 

Then  my  old  Kentucky  Home,  good-night! 

Chorus. 

Weep  no  more,  my  lady. 

Oh,  weep  no  more  to-day! 

We  will  sing  one  song  for  the  old  Kentucky  Home, 

For  the  old  Kentucky  Home,  far  away. 

2 

They  hunt  no  more,  for  the  'possum  and  the  coon. 
On  the  meadow,  the  hill,  and  the  shore. 
They  sing  no  more  by  the  glimmer  of  the  moon, 
On  the  bench  by  the  old  cabin  door; 
The  day  goes  by  like  a  shadow  o'er  the  heart, 
With  sorrow,  where  all  was  delight; 
The  time  has  come  when  the  darkies  have  to  part. 
Then  my  old  Kentucky  Home,  good-night! 
Chorus,  Weep  no  more,  etc. 


The  head  must  bow  and  the  back  will  have  to  bend, 
Wher'ever  the  darkey  may  go; 
A  few  more  days  and  the  trouble  all  will  end. 
In  the  field  where  the  sugar-cane  grow; 
A  few  more  days  for  to  tote  the  weary  load. 
No  matter,  'twill  never  be  light, 
A  few  more  days  till  we, totter  on  the  road, 
Then  my  old  Kentucky  Home,  good-night. 
Chorus,  Weep  no  more,  etc.

THE   LAST   ROSE   OF   SUMMER. 

'Tis  the  last  rose  of  summer, 

Left  blooming  alone, 
All  her  lovely  companions 

Are  faded  and  gone; 
No  flower  of  her  kindred, 

No  rosebud  is  nigh 
To  reflect  back  her  blushes. 

Or  give  sigh  for  sigh. 

I'll  not  leave  thee  thou  lone  one, 

To  pine  on  the  stem, 
Since  the  lovely  are  sleeping. 

Go  sleep  thou  with  them; 
Thus  kindly  I  scatter 

Thy  leaves  o'er  the  bed, 
Where  thy  mates  of  the  garden   ■ 

Lie  scentless  and  dead. 

So  soon  may  I  follow, 

When  friendships  decay. 
And  from  love's  shining  circle 

The  gems  drop  away; 
When  true  hearts  lie  withered. 

And  fond  ones  are  flown. 
Oh,  who  would  inhabit 

This  bleak  world  alone?

BEN    BOLT. 


O!  don't  you  remember  sweet  Alice,  Ben  Bolt, 

Sweet  Alice,  with  hair  so  brown. 

She  wept  with  delight  when  you  gave  her  a  smile, 

And  trembled  with  fear  at  your  frown. 

In  the  eld  church  yard,  in  the  valley,  Ben  Bolt, 

In  a  corner  obscure  and  alone, 

They  have  fitted  a  slab  cf  granite  so  grey, 

And  sweet  Alice  lies  under  the  stone, 

They  have  fitted  a  slab  of  granite  so  grey, 

And  sweet  Alice  lies  under  the  stone. 


Don't  you  remember  the  wood,  Ben  Bolt, 

Near  the  green  sunny  slope  of  the  hill. 

Where  oft  we  have  sung  neath  its  wide-spreading  shade, 

And  kept  time  to  the  klick  of  the  mill. 

The  mill  has  gone  to  decay,  Ben  Bolt, 

And  a  quiet  now  reigns  all  around; 

See  the  old  rustic  porch,  with  its  roses  so  sweet. 

Lies  scattered  and  fallen  to  the  ground. 

See  the  old  rustic  porch,  with  its  roses  so  sweet. 

Lies  scattered  and  fallen  to  the  ground. 


Oh!  don't  you  remember  the  school,  Ben  Bolt, 

And  the  master,  so  kind  and  so  true, 

And  the  little  nook,  by  the  clear  running  brook. 

Where  we  gathered  the  flowers  as  they  grew? 

On  master's  grave  grows  the  grass,  Ben  Bolt, 

And  the  running  little  brook  is  now  dry, 

And  of  all  the  friends  who  were  school  mates  then. 

There  remains,  Ben,  but  you  and  I, 

And  of  all  the  friends  who  were  school  mates  then. 

There  remains,  Ben,  but  you  and  I.

SHELLS   OF   OCEAN. 

1 

One  summer  eve,  with  pensive  tliougbt, 

I  wandered  on  the  sea-beat  shore, 

Where  oft  in  heedless  infant  sport, 

I  gathered  sliells  in  days  before, 

I  gathered  shells  in  days  before. 

The  splashing  waves  like  music  fell, 

Responsive  to  my  fancy  wild, 

A  dream  came  o'er  me  like  a  spell, 

I  thought  I  was  again  a  child, 

A  dream  came  o'er  me  like  a  spell, 

I  thought  I  was  again,  again  a  child. 


I  stood  upon  the  pebbly  strand 

To  cull   the   toys,   that   round  me  lay; 

But  as  I  took  them  in  my  hand, 

I  threw  them,  one  by  one  away, 

I  threw  them,  one  by  one  away. 

Oh!   thus  I  said,  in  every  stage, 

By  toys  our  fancy  is  beguiled; 

We  gather  shells  from  youth  to  age. 

And  then  we  leave  them  like  a  child, 

We  gather  shells  from  youth  to  age. 

And  then  we  leave  them,  leave  them,  like  a  child.

I    CANNOT   SING   THE   OLD    SONGS, 


I  cannot  sing  the  old  songs 

I  sang  long  years  ago, 

For  heart  and  voice  would  fail  me, 

And   foolish   tears   would   flow; 

For  by-gone  hours  come  o'er  my  lieart, 

With   each  familiar  strain, 

1  cannot  sing  the  old  songs, 

Or  dream  those  dreams  again, 

I  cannot  sing  the  old  songs. 

Or  dream  those  dreams  again. 


I  cannot  sing  the  old  songs, 
Their     cliarm  is  sad  and  deep; 
Their  melodies  would  waken 
Old  sorrows  in  their  sleep, 
And   tho'   all   unforgotten   still, 
And  sadly  sweet  tliey  be, 
I  cannot  sing  the  old  songs, 
They  are  too  dear  to  me; 
I  cannot  sing  the  old  songs. 
They  are  too  dear  to  me. 


I  cannot  sing  the  old  songs, 

For  visions  come  again, 

Of  golden  dreams  departed 

And  years  of  weary  pain. 

Perhaps  when  eartlily  fetters  shall 

Have  set  my  spirit  free. 

My  voice  may  know  the  old  songs, 

For  all  eternity, 

My  voice  may  know  the  old  songs. 

For  all  eternity.

THE  OLD  OAKEN    BUCKET. 


How  dear  to  my  heart  are  the  scenes  of  my  childhood, 

When  fond  recollection  presents  them  to  view! 

The  orchard,  the  meadow,  the  deep  tangled  wild-weed, 

And  ev'ry  loved  spot,  which  my  infancy  knew; 

The  wide  spreading  pond,  and  the  mill  that  stood  by  it, 

The  bridge  and  the  rock  where  the  cataract  fell; 

The  cot  of  my  father,  the  dairy  house  nigh  it. 

And  e'en  the  rude  bucket  that  hung  in  the  well. 

Chorus. 

The  old  oaken  bucket,  the  iron  bound  bucket, 
The  moss  covered  bucket,  that  hung  in  the  well. 


That  moss  covered  bucket,  I  hail  as  a  treasure. 
For  often  at  noon,  when  returned  from  the  field, 
I  found  it  the  source  of  an  exquisite  pleasure. 
The  purest  and  sweetest  that  nature  can  yield. 
How  ardent  I  seized  it,  with  hands  that  were  glowing. 
And  quick  to  the  white  pebbled  bottom  it  fell. 
And  soon,  with  the  emblem  of  truth  overflowing, 
And  dripping  with  coolness,  it  rose  from  tha  well. 
Chorus:     The  old  oaken  bucket,  etc. 


How  sweet  from  the  green  messy  brim  to  receive  it, 

As,  poised  on  the  curb,  it  inclined  to  my  lips  I 

Not  a  full  blushing  goblet  could  tempt  me  to  leave  it, 

Tho'  filled  with  the  nectar  that  Jupiter  sips. 

And  now  far  removed  from  the  loved  habitation, 

The  tear  of  regret  will  intrusively  swell. 

As  fancy  reverts  to  my  father's  plantation, 

And  sighs  for  the  bucket  that  hung  in  the  well. 

Chorus:     The  old  oaken  bucket,  etc.

MANY   ELKS  ARE   IN   OUR  TOWN. 

1 

Attention,  friends,  the  Elks  are  here. 
They've  come  to  our  town, 
Greet  them,  with  a  hand  of  welcome; 
Scatter  roses  all   around. 

Chorus. 

All  good  friends,  tie  up  your  dogs, 
While  the  Elks  are  in  our  town, 
For  they  would  surely  scatter  the  herd; 
If  left  loose  running  around. 


All  the  people  in  our  town. 

Have  good  hearts  for  you, 

While  high  above  us  flies  the  eagle, 

Guarding  you  so  true. 

Chorus:     All  good  friends,  etc. 


A  round  of  pleasure,  with  plenty  to  eat. 
And  friends  on  every  hand, 
We  wish  you  would  return  to  us, 
And  live  in  every  land. 

Chorus:     All  good  friends,  etc. 


This  song  was  originally  written,  to  be  used  as  a  welcome  to 
the  visiting  Elks,  to  the  Elks'  Carnival,  which  was  held  in  Portland, 
Oregon,  in  July,  1912,  but  too  late  for  use,  and  was  written  on 
the  1st  day  of  July,  1912,  in  the  City  of  Roses  and  Birds,  and  dedi- 
cated to  the  memory  of  Charles  E.  Vivian,  who  years  ago,  gathered 
together  his  theatrical  friends  and  perfected  the  organization,  of 
what  is  now  the  great  "Order  of  Elks."

CRADLE    HYMN. 


Kusli  my  child,  lie  still  and  slamber, 
Hcly  angels  guard  tliy  bed, 
Heavenly  blessings  with-out  number. 
Gently  falling  on  tliy  head. 
How  much  better  thou'rt  attended, 
Than  the  Son  of  God  could  be; 
When  from  heaven  He  descended, 
And  became  a  child  like  thee. 


Soft  and  easy  is  thy  cradle, 
Coarse  and  hard  thy  Saviour  lay; 
When  His  birth-place  was  a  stable. 
And  His  softest  bed  was  hay. 
Oh,  to  tell  the  won-drous  story, 
How  His  foes  abused  their  King; 
How  they  killed  the  Lord  of  glory. 
Makes  me  angry  while  I  sing. 


Hush,  my  child.  I  did  not  chide  thee. 
Though  my  song  may  seem   so  hard; 
'Tis  thy  mother  sits  beside  thee. 
And  her  arms  shall  be  thy  guard, 
May'st  thou  learn  to  know  and  fear  Him, 
Love  and  serve  Him  all  thy  days; 
Then  to  dwell  forever  near  Him. 
Tell  His  love  and  sing  His   praise.

Friends  slumloer  there,  we  were  want  to  regard, 

We'll   trace   out   their  names,   in    the   old   church  .vard. 

Oh  mourn  not  for  them,  their  grief  is  o'er. 

Weep  not  for  them,  thev  weep  no  more, 

For  deep  is  their  sleej),  though  cold  and  hard     . 

Their  pillow  may  be  in  the  eld  chnrch  yard.

I  knew  it  Ksenis  vain  when  friends   depart, 

To  breathe  kind  words  to  the   broken  heart; 

I  know  that  the  joys  of  life  seem  marred, 

When  we   follow  our  friends  to  the  old  church  yard^ 

Bit  were  I  at  rest  beneath  yon  tree, 

Why  should  you  weep,  dear  friends  for  me? 

I'm  wayworn  and  sad.  Oh   wliy  then  retard 

The  rest  that  I  seek  in  the  old  church  yrrd 


Our  friends  linger  there  in  the  sweetest  repose. 
Released  from  the  world's  sad  bereavem^ents  and  woes 
.And  who  would  not  rest  with  the  friends  they  regard, 
In  quietude  sweet  in  the  old  church  yard? 
AVe'll  rest  in  the  hope  of  that  bright  day. 
When  beauty  shall  spring  from  the  prison  of  clay. 
When  Gabriel's  voice,  and  the  trump  of  the  Lcrd, 
Shall  awaken  the  dead  in  the  old  church  yard. 


Oh!  weep  not  for  me,  1  am  anxious  to  go 

To  that  haven  of  rest,  where  tears  never  flow; 

1  fear  not,  to  enter  that  dark  lonely  ward; 

For  soon  shall  I  rise  from  the  old  church  yard; 

Yes,  soon  shall  I  join  that  heavenly  band 

Of  glorified  souls  at  my  Saviour's  right  hand; 

Forever  to  dwell  in  bright  mansions,  prepared 

For    the    saints,    who    shall    rise    from    the    old    church    yard.

Nearer,  my  God,  to  Thee, 

Nearer  to  Thee! 

E'en  tho'  it  be  a  cross, 

That  raiseth  me. 

Still  all  my  song  shall  be, 

Nearer,  my  God,  to  Thee, 

Nearer,  my  God,  to  Thee, 

Nearer  to  Thee! 


Tho'  Wke  a  wanderer, 
The  sun  gone  down, 
Darltness  be  over  me. 
My  rest  a  stone; 
Yet  in  my  dreams  I'd  be. 
Nearer,  my  God,  to  Thee, 
Nearer,  my  God,  to  Thee, 
Nearer  to  Thee! 


There  let  my  way  appear. 
Steps  unto  heaven; 
All  that  Thou  sendest  me 
In  mercy  given; 
Angels  to  beckon  me. 
Nearer,  my  God.  to  Thee, 
Nearer,  my  God.  to  Thee, 
Nearer  to  Thee!

WORK   FOR  THE  NIGHT  IS  COMINd. 

1 

Work  for  the  night  is  coming, 

Work  through  the  morning  hotirs; 

Work  while  the  dew  is  sparkling. 

Work  "mid  springing  flowers; 

Work  when  the  day  grows  brighter^ 

"Work  in  the  glowing  sun; 

Work  for  the  night  is  comings 
When  man's  work  is  done. 


Work  for  the  night  is  coming, 
Work  tlirough  the  sunny  noon; 
T'ill  brightest  hours  with  labor,. 
Rest  comes  sure  and  soon ; 
Uive  every  flying  minute, 
Something  to  keep  in  store; 
Work  for  the  night  is  coming. 
When  man  works  no  more. 


Work  for  the  night  is  coming, 

Under  the  sun-set  skies; 

While  their  bright  tints  are  glowing, 

W^ork  for  daylight  flies; 

Work  till  the  last  beam  fadeth, 

Fadeth  to  shine  no  more; 

Work  while  the  night  is  dark'ning, 

When  man's  work  is  o'er.

On  Jordan's  stormy  banks  I  stand, 
And  cast  a  wishfal  eye, 
To  Canaan's  fair  and  happy  land, 
"Where  my  possessions  lie. 


Oh  I  the  transporting,  rapturciis  scene> 
That  rises  to  my  sight! 
Sweet  fields  arrayed  in  living  green, 
And  rivers  of  delight! 


All  o'er  these  wide  extended  plains, 
Shines  one  eternal  day: 
There  God,  the  Son,  forever  reigns, 
And  scatters  night  away.

Praise  Him,  all  creatures  here  below;
